260 = 260mm wide (can't remember if it's tread or section width, but I think it's tread width)
60 = the height of the sidewall is 60% of the width (in this case 60% of 260)
14 = tire is made for a 14" rim

There are also a bunch of tire calculators for changing size and seeing the effect on speedo accuracy...on the net if you search...
